What it does

Beekeeping Guide is an agent skill from FerroxLabs/wayland. Guide to beekeeping including hive types, seasonal management, inspection routines, honey harvest, disease and pest management, bee biology, equipment, regulations, and startup costs. Use when the user asks about beekeeping guide or needs help with related topics. Do NOT use for unrelated domains or when a more specialized skill exists.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Wayland - The AI Agent That Perceives. Reasons. Acts. Evolves. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about beekeeping guide
  • Needs help with related topics
  • Unrelated domains
  • A more specialized skill exists

Example prompts

  • “/beekeeping-guide”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather requirements. Ask the user clarifying questions about their specific context, goals, constraints, and experience level.
  2. Analyze the situation. Review the information provided and identify key factors, challenges, and opportunities relevant to beekeeping guide.
  3. Develop the framework. Create a structured approach tailored to the user's needs, incorporating best practices and domain-specific…
  4. Deliver actionable output. Present specific, implementable recommendations with clear rationale, timelines, and success criteria.
  5. Address edge cases. Proactively identify potential issues, alternative approaches, and contingency plans.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c030c7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Beekeeping Guide loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,364 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Questions to Ask First

Before starting a beekeeping journey:

  1. Why do you want to keep bees? (Honey, pollination, fascination, environmental stewardship)
  2. Where do you live? (Urban, suburban, rural) Are there local ordinances about beekeeping?
  3. Do you or anyone in your household have bee sting allergies?
  4. How much space do you have? (Backyard, rooftop, farm)
  5. Are there neighbors who might be affected?
  6. What is your budget for getting started? ($200-400 / $400-800 / $800+)
  7. Have you taken a beekeeping class or mentored with a beekeeper?
  8. What is your time availability? (Bees need 1-2 hours per week during active season)
  9. Are you comfortable with the physical demands? (Hive boxes can weigh 60-90 lbs)
  10. Do you have a plan for what to do with honey? (Personal use, gifts, selling)

Bee Biology Basics

The Honey Bee Colony

A colony is a superorganism of 20,000-60,000 bees functioning as a single unit.

Queen Bee (One per colony)

  • Only sexually mature female
  • Lays up to 2,000 eggs per day at peak
  • Lives 2-5 years
  • Mates once in her life during mating flights
  • Produces pheromones that regulate colony behavior

Worker Bees (Female, 20,000-60,000)

  • All female, cannot reproduce (usually)
  • Live 6 weeks in summer, 4-6 months in winter
  • Age-based roles:
    • Days 1-3: Clean cells
    • Days 3-10: Feed larvae (nurse bees)
    • Days 10-18: Build comb, process honey, guard entrance
    • Days 18+: Forage for nectar, pollen, water, propolis

Drone Bees (Male, 500-2,000)

  • Only purpose: Mate with queens from other colonies
  • Cannot sting (no stinger)
  • Larger than workers, big compound eyes
  • Expelled from hive before winter (no longer needed, resource drain)
The Brood Cycle
  • Egg (3 days) > Larva (6 days) > Pupa (12 days for workers) > Adult
  • Total: 21 days for workers, 16 days for queens, 24 days for drones
  • Understanding the brood cycle helps you read the hive during inspections
How Bees Make Honey
  1. Foragers collect nectar from flowers (store in honey stomach)
  2. Return to hive, pass nectar to house bees
  3. House bees process nectar: enzymes break down complex sugars
  4. Spread in cells, fan with wings to evaporate moisture (from 80% to 18%)
  5. Cap cell with beeswax when water content is below 18%
  6. Sealed honey can last virtually forever

Hive Types

Langstroth Hive (Most Common)
  • Stacked rectangular boxes with removable frames
  • Most widely used worldwide, standard equipment fits
  • Easy to inspect, manage, and extract honey
  • Frames can be interchanged between hives
  • Modular: Add boxes as colony grows
  • Components: Bottom board, deep brood boxes (1-2), medium or shallow honey supers, inner cover, outer cover
  • Cost: $200-350 per assembled hive
Top-Bar Hive
  • Horizontal design, bars across the top, bees build natural comb
  • No heavy lifting (no stacking boxes)
  • More natural comb construction (bees choose cell size)
  • Harder to extract honey (comb must be crushed)
  • Cannot interchange frames with Langstroth
  • Good for small-scale, natural beekeeping approach
  • Cost: $150-300
Warre Hive
  • Vertical like Langstroth but with top bars instead of frames
  • Boxes added to the bottom (nadiring) rather than top
  • Minimal intervention philosophy
  • Less common, fewer resources and mentors available
  • Cost: $200-300
Recommendation

For beginners: Langstroth hive. Best educational resources, most mentors use it, standardized equipment, easiest to learn proper management.

Equipment Checklist

Essential Equipment
  • Hive: Complete Langstroth (bottom board, 2 deep boxes, frames with foundation, inner cover, outer cover) - $200-350
  • Protective gear: Jacket with veil or full suit ($40-100), gloves ($15-25)
  • Smoker: Calms bees during inspection ($25-40)
  • Hive tool: Pries apart frames, scrapes wax/propolis ($8-15)
  • Bee brush: Gently removes bees from frames ($5-8)
  • Frame grip (optional): Easier frame handling ($10-15)
  • Bees: Package (3 lbs bees + queen) or nucleus colony (5 frames with brood and queen)
Nice to Have
  • Entrance reducer: Protects weak colonies, manages traffic ($3-5)
  • Queen excluder: Keeps queen out of honey supers ($10-15)
  • Feeder (multiple types): Feeds sugar syrup to new or struggling colonies ($8-20)
  • Uncapping knife/fork: For honey harvest ($10-25)
  • Extractor: Spins honey out of frames ($150-400 for manual, or borrow from club)
  • Strainer and bottling bucket: Filters and bottles honey ($30-50)

Getting Started Costs

ItemBudgetMid-RangePremium
First hive (assembled)$200$300$400
Second hive (recommended)$200$300$400
Protective gear$40$80$150
Smoker and tools$40$60$80
Package bees (x2)$300$400$500
Feeder and supplies$30$50$80
Total$810$1,190$1,610

Why start with two hives: You can compare colonies (is that behavior normal?), transfer resources between them, and if one queen fails, you have eggs from the other colony to raise a new queen.

Where to Get Bees

Package Bees ($150-250)
  • 3 lbs of bees (approximately 10,000) with a caged queen
  • Installed into prepared hive
  • Queen releases from cage over 3-5 days (colony acclimates to her pheromones)
  • Available spring (March-May depending on region)
  • Order by January/February (they sell out)
Nucleus Colony ("Nuc") ($175-300)
  • 5 frames with established brood, honey, pollen, and a laying queen
  • Stronger start than a package
  • Already functioning as a colony
  • Transfers directly into your hive
  • Generally recommended over packages for beginners
Catching a Swarm (Free)
  • Swarm lists through local beekeeping associations
  • Experienced beekeeper assistance recommended for first swarm
  • Free bees, but genetics and health unknown
  • Swarming season: Spring (March-June)

Seasonal Management

Spring (March-May)
  • First inspection: Check for queen (look for eggs - tiny grains of rice standing in cells)
  • Feed: 1:1 sugar syrup if stores are low (stimulates brood production)
  • Expand: Add frames/boxes as population grows
  • Swarm management: Inspect every 7-10 days for queen cells (peanut-shaped cells = swarm preparation)
  • Splits: Divide strong colonies to prevent swarming and increase hive count
  • Install new colonies: Package bees or nucs
Summer (June-August)
  • Honey flow: Primary nectar collection period
  • Add supers: Honey supers go on when bees fill frames
  • Monitor: Check for queen, brood pattern, disease signs
  • Water: Ensure water source available near hives
  • Heat management: Ensure ventilation, shade if in extreme heat
  • Harvest: First honey harvest possible in late summer of second year (do not harvest first year in most cases)
Fall (September-November)
  • Assess stores: Colony needs 60-90 lbs of honey for winter (varies by climate)
  • Feed: 2:1 sugar syrup if stores are insufficient
  • Varroa treatment: Critical treatment window (see pest management below)
  • Reduce entrances: Protect against robbing from other colonies and wasps
  • Remove empty supers: Consolidate the hive
  • Ensure young queen: Colonies with old queens have higher winter failure
Winter (December-February)
  • Minimal disturbance: Do not open hive unless absolutely necessary
  • Ventilation: Ensure moisture can escape (moisture kills more colonies than cold)
  • Emergency feeding: Fondant or sugar board if stores run low
  • Windbreak: Position hive with entrance away from prevailing winter wind
  • Mouse guard: Prevent mice from nesting in warm hive
  • Monitor: Heft the hive occasionally (heavy = sufficient stores, light = emergency)

Inspection Routines

When to Inspect
  • Every 7-10 days during active season (spring through fall)
  • Choose warm, sunny, calm days (above 60F)
  • Midday is best (many foragers are out, fewer bees in hive)
  • Brief inspections: 10-15 minutes per hive
Inspection Procedure
  1. Light smoker (use natural fuel: pine needles, burlap, cotton)
  2. Approach hive from the side or rear (not blocking the entrance)
  3. Puff 2-3 gentle smoke puffs at entrance, wait 30 seconds
  4. Remove outer and inner covers (puff smoke if needed)
  5. Start with outer frames, work toward center
  6. Lift frames gently, hold over the hive (queen could fall off)
  7. Look for:
    • Queen or fresh eggs: Confirm queen is present and laying
    • Brood pattern: Solid pattern = healthy queen; spotty = problems
    • Population: Growing, stable, or declining?
    • Food stores: Honey and pollen present?
    • Disease signs: Unusual brood appearance, foul smell, deformed wings
    • Queen cells: Swarm cells (bottom of frame) or supersedure cells (middle of frame)
    • Pests: Varroa mites, hive beetles, wax moths
  8. Reassemble hive in same order
  9. Record observations in hive log

What NOT to Do During Inspections
  • Do not crush bees (especially the queen) - move slowly and deliberately
  • Do not bang frames or boxes together
  • Do not breathe on the bees (CO2 agitates them)
  • Do not wear strong fragrances or dark clothing (bees associate dark = bears = threat)
  • Do not inspect in cold, rainy, or windy conditions

Honey Harvest

When to Harvest
  • Frames are at least 80% capped (wax cap over each cell)
  • Only harvest surplus - leave enough for the bees (60-90 lbs minimum for winter)
  • First-year colonies typically produce little to no surplus
  • Most harvests happen late summer to early fall
Harvest Process (Langstroth)
  1. Remove honey supers from hive (bee escape boards, fume boards, or brush bees off)
  2. Bring frames to extraction area (clean, screened from bees)
  3. Uncap cells with uncapping knife or fork
  4. Place frames in extractor (manual or electric centrifuge)
  5. Spin to extract honey
  6. Filter through strainer (removes wax bits)
  7. Let honey settle in bottling bucket (air bubbles rise, 24-48 hours)
  8. Bottle in clean jars
  9. Return wet supers to hive for bees to clean
Yields
  • Average first-year surplus: 0-30 lbs (often none)
  • Average established colony: 30-60 lbs per year
  • Exceptional colonies/years: 100+ lbs
  • Depends heavily on local flora, weather, and colony health

Disease and Pest Management

Varroa Mites (Most Critical Threat)
  • Parasitic mite that feeds on bee fat bodies and transmits viruses
  • Present in virtually every colony worldwide
  • If left untreated, colony will die within 1-3 years
  • Monitoring: Alcohol wash or sugar shake test (count mites per 300 bees)
    • Below 2 mites/100 bees: Low level, monitor
    • 2-3 mites/100 bees: Treat soon
    • Above 3 mites/100 bees: Treat immediately
  • Treatment options:
    • Oxalic acid (vaporization or dribble): Organic, effective, temperature-dependent
    • Formic acid (Formic Pro, MAQS): Kills mites in capped brood, temperature-sensitive
    • Thymol (Apiguard, ApiLife Var): Essential oil treatment
    • Apivar (amitraz): Synthetic, highly effective, use judiciously to prevent resistance
  • Treat in late summer/early fall to protect winter bees
American Foulbrood (AFB)
  • Bacterial disease that kills larvae
  • Symptoms: Sunken, perforated cappings; ropy brown residue when toothpick inserted in cell; foul smell
  • Extremely serious: Spores survive decades
  • In most states, infected equipment must be burned (report to state apiary inspector)
  • No treatment that saves the colony; prevention through hygienic bee stock
Nosema
  • Microsporidian gut parasite
  • Causes dysentery (fecal streaks on hive front)
  • Weakens colony, especially in spring
  • Prevention: Good ventilation, strong colonies, young queens
Small Hive Beetle
  • Dark beetle that lays eggs in hive; larvae destroy comb
  • Common in southern US
  • Management: Strong colonies (bees control beetle population), beetle traps, reduce hive space
Wax Moths
  • Larvae tunnel through comb, especially in weak colonies or stored equipment
  • Strong colonies handle wax moths easily
  • Store empty supers in cold or with paramoth crystals (not in the hive)

Local Regulations

Before Getting Bees, Check:
  • City/county ordinances on beekeeping (many cities now allow it, some restrict hive numbers or placement)
  • Required setback distances from property lines and structures
  • Registration requirements (many states require hive registration)
  • HOA restrictions
  • State apiary inspection programs (free inspections available in most states)
  • Liability: Inform your homeowner's insurance; consider additional liability coverage
  • Neighbor communication: Talk to neighbors before installing bees (honey is a great diplomatic tool)

Safety Considerations

  • Allergies: Anyone with known bee sting allergy should carry an EpiPen
  • Get tested: If unsure about allergy status, consult an allergist before getting bees
  • Sting protocol: Most beekeepers get stung occasionally; reaction typically diminishes over time
  • Normal reaction: Localized pain, swelling, itching at sting site (lasts hours to days)
  • Allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): Difficulty breathing, swelling of throat/tongue, widespread hives, dizziness - call 911 immediately
  • Protective gear: Always wear at minimum a veil; full suit recommended for beginners
  • Smoke: Smoker is your primary calming tool; never open a hive without it ready
  • Aggression signs: Bees head-butting you, increased buzzing pitch, following you = close up and leave
  • Neighbor safety: Position hive entrance away from foot traffic, install a fence or hedge (forces bees to fly high over people)

Progression Path

  1. Phase 1: Take a beginner beekeeping class, join local beekeeping association, read introductory books
  2. Phase 2: Set up first two hives, install bees, conduct regular inspections with mentor guidance
  3. Phase 3: Survive your first winter, first honey harvest, learn pest management
  4. Phase 4: Expand to 3-5 hives, learn to raise queens, make splits, try different management styles
  5. Phase 5: Teach beginner classes, mentor new beekeepers, produce value-added products (candles, lip balm, mead)
  6. Phase 6: Master beekeeper certification, contribute to breeding programs, advocate for pollinator health

Resources

  • Books: "The Beekeeper's Handbook" by Sammataro and Avitabile (best comprehensive reference)
  • Books: "Beekeeping for Dummies" by Howland Blackiston (accessible introduction)
  • Local beekeeping association: Find through state apiary organization or Bee Culture magazine
  • Bee Culture and American Bee Journal: Monthly magazines
